Spice Up Your Summer With Hot Dishes at These 13 Chicago Spots | Eater

"A town called Hickory Hills just has to have an establishment that serves wood-smoked barbecue, and The Pit Rib House does just that. As you might expect from the name, ribs and rib tips are the highlight here (and if you like the spicy house barbecue sauce, you can buy it by the bottle), but don’t overlook the Greek specialities like chicken and souvlaki, which pair equally well with a Blue Moon." - Aimee Levitt

I came to this place years ago, so we just moved to Justice and while driving by I recognized the place. My wife and I ordered a Greek Salad, and THE PIT PLATTER witch is was good enough for both. Portions are big, but the flavor was AMAIZING!!!! She had a couple drinks, and the BLOODY MARY was great, she also ordered a MARGARITA and wasn't that bad. The server was so nice, and always pending of our table. GREAT SERVICE. We definitely coming back.

We found this gem after we returned from vacation and were headed home from Chicago. The brisket grilled cheese was amazing! The chopped bbq pork platter was huge! We couldn’t even eat half of it all. Great service and the restaurant is adorable!

What a fun place. It would take you all day to look at everything. But wow, they have some neat things here. The staff were all very friendly, the place was clean. The drinks were delicious. The food was good. Decent size portions. I ordered the ribs and chicken (quarter) and loved how they asked if I preferred dark or white meat. The BBQ sauce had a nice flavor. Different will stop back again.

A friend and I came to this establishment around Fri 6/6/25. The reason why I didn't review this place then is because I try to be nice and understanding. Firstly, the young brunette Waitress with a pony tail (think it may've been braided) didn't seem too pleasant. Although she wasn't overtly nasty, her energy seemed a bit cold with no smiles throughout the entire interaction. My friend and I were interested in the Pork Sandwich and the Greek Sausage. On the Sandwich Menu Page, we saw it read as "All deluxe sandwiches include coleslaw & fries. Deluxe add $5.99......." When my friend asked if the BBQ Pork Sandwich came with a lot of fries (if we wanted them), the Waitress said a very simple and short, "Yes" , while walking away. I realize associates know what they know. But, in the moment, it didn't seem like she cared or was trying to answer that question. My friend went ahead and ordered the BBQ Pork Sandwich with Fries and I got a Greek Sausage with Fries. Later, a young blonde woman/Food Runner brought the food out. After setting the plates of food on the table, she asked, "Did we need anything else?" As I want to be a gentleman, I didn't answer, but looked at my guest (friend) first to see if she needed anything. My guest (friend) said no as the young blonde Food Runner was still looking at me. I simply told the Food Runner no, not trying to be rude at all nor was I in a bad mood. After saying no, I don't know why, but she got this nasty annoyed look on her face. As we were eating, my friend said the Pork Sandwich wasn't seasoned that well and my Greek Sausage wasn't either, so we both just put barbecue sauce on it. Once we got the check, I paid and took my receipt. Later that night, and while eyeing the receipt more, I saw there was a $5.99 fee in addition to our sandwiches. From the Menu, I thought the fries came with the sandwiches. I saw no indication or labels as to what was a "Deluxe" sandwich, so I assumed they all were. I drove back to Hickory Hills from around the Oak Park area (where I'm from) to reevaluate those charges. The Manager was very nice and understanding while saying there is indeed an additional $5.99 to get coleslaw and fries with any sandwich. Despite the Restaurant Manager being nice, and asking others who've never been there to make sense of it, the menu advertisement and sales wording for sandwiches could be more clear. It would truly make more sense if it read, "Sandwiches do not come with a side. Make it a Deluxe Combo meal (w/ coleslaw and fries) for $5.99."

Very unique place to have some good barbecue. They have their own barbecue sauce which is very good. Loved the how tender the pulled pork barbecue was. The meat of the ribs were also perfectly cooked great flavor. Customer service is a big plus. Our waitress was very attentive.

Great food, ribs and rib tips were tender, juicy and hot, not spicy hot.
